A CLI project building tool.

I was fed up with current C++ building tools, so I created my own. I borrowed the interface from Git so it would be somewhat familiar for everyone to use.

Not production ready yet. You can test the tool with the example usage below.

$ builds add hello.cpp
Builds not initialized. Do you want to initialize a new builds file in the current directory? (y/N) y
+ hello.cpp
Added 1 file(s)
$ builds project rename hello
$ builds add-library memmanage -p libs
+ path libs
+ memmanage
$ builds build
compile hello.cpp
build hello
$ ./hello
Hello, world!

• Python 3.5 or newer

1. Clone the repo
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. ln -s /path/to/builds.py /usr/local/bin/builds
4. Try the example usage with a hello.cpp of your own

• Manage projects
• Manage C++ project files
• Build C++ projects
• Add include paths
• Add libraries and paths
• Add shared libraries and paths
• Modular support for multiple project types (i.e. other than C++)

• Watch project files and run specific build steps on them
• Python 3.4 support
• Manage project folder structure

• Import make or cmake files
• Export make or cmake files
• Support for older versions of python

With a lack of better documentation, here are some commands:

• builds.py build [--rebuild] [--verbose] [--jobs n] [--run] [--target release] [projectname] build current or named project
• builds.py project show show active project name
• builds.py project rename [-p projectname] newprojectname rename a project or a current project with a new name
• builds.py add filename add a file
• builds.py add --interactive add files interactively
• builds.py remove filename remove a file
• builds.py add-library libraryname [--path librarypath] add a library and/or a library path
• builds.py add-include includepath add a include path
• builds.py add-shared-library sharedlibrary [--path sharedlibrarypath] add a shared library and/or runtime shared library path
• builds.py settings print print the current settings as json to the stdout
